Ninety Nine Nights (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Microsoft

August 25, 2006
N3, Ninety Nine Nights... first impressions were awesome. Being hit with the graphics and scale and overall presentation for the first time is a truely awesome experience. I didn't put the game down 'til i'd finished with the first character (out of 6 or 7) Imphyy, and so I proceeded to play as character 2, Aspharr. I quickly lost interest... moved onto chacter 3, interest went further away from me.

The problem with the two characters after imphy is that after their combos they stand still and sort of pose for a second, during this time enemys will strike, this gets very frustrating.

The game (after Imphyy) does have a few major problems. The boss', as mentioned by other reviewers, are rediculously unbalenced... blocking ... Read More:

Hitman: Blood Money (Xbox 360)

i have just got this game and it is the best game i have played on there is nothing that you can't do you can get human shields, take uniforms, push people off cliffs to make it look like suicide and people do not just collapse on the floor when you kill them.the only thing that needs improving is that there is not enough of it there are fourteen levels and considering the length is more than substantial but all outstanding games cand be improved by making it longer.

Timeshift (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Sierra

November 02, 2007
I'm normally quite good at spotting a good game, or at least one that i'd enjoy and at first completely wrote this off my list. im so glad i bought it now, the gameplay is amazingly fun and addictive, slowing down time and sprinting around everywhere causeing mayhem is exactly what it looks like on the trailer, but the clincher has to be pausing time and stealing an enemies gun, pure genius!!!!!

now to go into the game in more depth, the storyline is well....errrr its ok, but its nothing to write home about, graphically its great but isnt the best on this console, but saying that, it has some of the best destructability i've seen in a long time. It isnt too easy but not mind blowingly hard, there are some slightly repetitive bits where you have to ... Read More:

Madden NFL 08 (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Electronic Arts

August 31, 2007
As a late arrival to the next gen consoles, I was eager to pick up the latest Madden and really see what has improved. Firstly, the graphics are AMAZING. Note: beads of sweat running down players necks, and grass fields being torn up during a game. Never has a 300lb man looked so beautiful. So, visually, no problems, very nice.

However... understanding EA sports games has always been difficult, and this is by far the most difficult one yet. The controls havn't been set out in a way which makes gameplay simple (trying to do too much with the extra shoulder buttons perhaps?), and are often slow to responed in game. For example, running backs are often tackled and fumble the ball (which happens A LOT) before attempting to spin, or linebackers often over-run a play ... Read More:

The Godfather (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Electronic Arts

September 22, 2006
Eurgh, this game disgusted me.
I didn't buy it, my brother did cos he loves the films, but we both think the A.I. in this game is terrible, and it sounds and looks too much like medal of honor.

Yes, there are scenes where it's from the film etc, but the graphics aren't even great.

I've never really liked EA either, the A.I. has always been crap and a bit dissapointing - and also when you're trying to kill an enemy, it locks onto someone else you don't want and may sometimes not even attack.

Wasn't worth a buy - maybe for my brother, but I thought it was crap.
Bleh - 2 stars.

Xbox 360 - Pc Vga Switch Box Rgbhv & Audio

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Mayflash


My set up is an older lcd monitor, pc speakers with a regular phono input cable, a pc, and an xbox 360. This allows them all to be connected simultaneously. It has a phono input and output, which is the regular jack like on mp3 players; and stero input and output, so the 360 vga cable stereo output can be connected.

YOU HAVE TO TWEAK YOUR RESOLUTION TO GET RID OF THE GHOSTING!

,well I did, and it sorted it, anyway. There is minimal signal quality loss for the pc picture probably due to the cheap cable, but nothing you can't get used to, and its still better than changing cables every hour. The cables supplied are adequate and it seems different peoples experiences vary, so you should just buy this before considering buying better cables.

There is slight ... Read More:

CSI: Hard Evidence (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Ubisoft

October 04, 2007
If there's a prize for ugliest game this year, CSI: Hard Evidence wins it. However, underneath the inexplicably unpretty appearance is a game which is pretty much what - if you're into CSI - you'd want it to be. You get to use the various gadgets (in a "click in the right area" fashion), scrutinise things for anything which looks out-of-place, and ask (via linear multiple-choice) aggressive questions of the suspects. In other words, if you've played a CSI game before, this is more of the same.

While the game is intriguing and rewarding enough to overlook the unpleasant graphics, it is unfortunately (and fairly appropriately) rather like work, and so only gets three stars from me. If you have been buying CSI DVDs, you'll probably find this a worthy purchase too. Otherwise, it seems ... Read More:

Star Trek: Legacy (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Ubisoft

December 20, 2006
why? because they are all out to ruin the game for what, it is a star trek game, and any self respecting fan would buy this! it is the best space combat game in ages i think it beats all of the star wars games hands down, and im one of the biggest star wars fans out there.(iv got a lightsaber ;P)

im getting it for my birthday and all you need to do is get the demo, and you will see for yourself, that controls are easy you just move you ship up down left, right and activate you impulse engines :)

if you find it hard then invert the controls 'DUH'!!!

A must buy!!!

Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Ubisoft

September 07, 2007
Had Blazing Angels (first one) loved that too! then blazing angels 2 comes out and what a great game this is too, various campaigns to test your skill. Also went online to play others from around the globe and found it to be great fun, I'm into shoot em' ups especially world war 2 scenarios. The planes are quite realistic and plenty to choose from (when fighting online)I'd say it's a game well worth the time depending on your taste of game, just to sum it up It's an all round entertaining game.

The Club (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Sega

February 08, 2008
This game is great fun. However, this eventually wears thin as it soon becomes very repetitive.

The aim of the game is to kill as many people as possible, in the most stylish way, to get a high score. As I said earlier this is great, and to keep trying to beat your score is addictive at first. It soon becomes clear though, that there is a distinct lack of depth. All the "baddies" spawn at the same point. Once you have memorised this, apart from beating your own score, there is nothing left to do.

Overall this game feels more like a very polished "bonus mission" of a bigger game. It is very similar to the "mercenary's missions" which are unlockable upon completion of Resident Evil 4. What makes those more rewarding is the fact that you have had to complete 15 to 18 hours worth of ... Read More:
